Yes, they do have a lot of heart and play hard especially in 2nd halfs. I suspect that has a lot to do with Cowan and Morsell. Mariol imo just has no skill sets. He has no post moves and he gets pushed around on defense. I suspect he was mostly recruited just because hes so tall and dominated kids who were 8-10" shorter than him. But that dont work in college when most guys are also 6'9-6'11 so the height difference isnt as big. I dont think he'll ever be a legit starter. That said, yes its been a magical year to a degree with all the comeback wins and the top rankings/standings in big10. One thing is for sure imo, MD needs to make a good run this year, because with Stix and Cowan being gone for next year and a less than suberb recruiting class so far, I think MD will be very mediocre next season and perhaps not even make the tourney but Im trying to enjoy this year.

The problem with MD imo is they have no depth. If stix gets in foul trouble, its forget about it. I detest recruiting fellas like Chol Mariol who is literally just a body, he offers no value. Reminds me of a black Will Bowers lol. But MD has 6 guys who contribute. Outside of that, none of the other bench players have a single thing to offer. i think thats going to burn them in tournament style play.

Yeah I dont disagree but when i was watching radar, Norfolk/VA Beach hardly got into the greens and good stuff...I mean i dont know, how impressive is .8 or so over the course of 12 or more hours? the temps were a big issue but I feel like if some of the heavy stuff in SC and southern NC got up further north, the dynamics would have kicked in better. There was a mesoscale discussion put out yesterday afternoon for the VA/NC area of 1"+ rates, I dont really think that ever materialized.

Yeah, Radar was interesting...seems like all the heavy stuff stayed generally south of Raleigh...the SE VA area was basically under 20 and especially under 25 dbz all day and evening. Its not gonna work for a big snow when its in the 40s as the storm starts and the dynamics never really fully come into play

This was poorly handled by the mesos in general...the globals defintely had the better idea. GFS a little too light and too south but overall it handled it better.

Yeah if we're willing to chase to Central North North Carolina lol

The only thing showing that at this point anymore is the NAMs...we'll see.

I generally agree in the overall synoptics of the storm...People just need to remember that the NAM, especially 12K, almost always overdoes QPF on southern stream storms. Take the 3K snow depth map and I think itll be close to verifying

Yeah but its nice having the GFS somewhat on board. I think the Euro is a little underdone. The truth usually lies in the middle, my prediction would be 2-4 for most of central NC with lollies up to 6". But its not an easy call for sure

I think Richmond is right on the line of steady light snow, so my opinion I wouldnt expect much there...But pending on model runs tonight If I lived in Richmond Id be willing to chase to the Raleigh-Wilson-Greenville corridor. If it goes down, that should be the best spot to see the most snow

lol..I mean I deff think if this goes down the best stuff is well west south west of you but good luck man, hope you at least see some fatties

If parts of East Central NC get 6-12" like the NAM shows, man would that be a kick straight to the furry kiwi's. The NAM and Euro are so worlds apart in terms of the coastal enhancement and dynamics of the snow

Meh. Maybe for Richmond but it still sucks. Gets snow up to about Richmond at hour 81 but then starts shrinking it S & E at 84. This is hopeless for anyone north of Richmond

Man, this place is dead...as it should be. Doesnt really look like any threats to me thru the end of the month

Looks like the severe stuff may have been somewhat elevation fueled. Despite what appeared to be a strengthening line heading into the Baltimore area. Just some really heavy rain and a little wind gust here. Lower elevations didn’t seem to get the punch that a little higher up did

I’ll say October for the N&W folks

I’ll offer 20,000, a weatherbell subscription and a Justin Berk snow stick

Yeah but I actually think the models have been pretty good, reasonably thinking. Yeah of course they have shown some phantom digital snow, but for the most part they have been consistent on the pattern being progressive and most storms cutting to our west and that is what exactly has happened. I’ve done pretty well from a forecasting standpoint for the most part this year, when taking in the models but also using my head and climatology. I mostly come on here to hear other thoughts and occasionally be belligerent.

I think you’re a fraud. You’re literally expecting a computer to model a chaotic global atmosphere perfectly. Can you just stop, Jesus. If you don’t want to discuss long range weather and the models, then don’t come on the forum. Some of the best snowstorms were sniffed out more than 5 days out.

But then back to snow and a heavy dump

I played rec football for 1 year....broke my arm. Stuck to baseball after that lol. So I get it...but there are a LOT of kids who make football "their sport". I watched football when i was a young kid, but I really got into it at about aged 11-12. The Ravens won the first SB when I was 13, so that really spiked it for me. I do think there are some life lessons to be learned from football, it is the ultimate team sport imo

Still. I’d rather at least see a better trend in cold air damming or a little bit more of a southern trajectory with the overrunning precip. We know the storm is going to cut. We need a favorable overrunning situation

The GFS also trended in a bad way for next weeks system Haven’t caught a break all year, hard to think it’ll happen

The NAM and ICON seemed pretty weak at 0z here

Ive never been in....yet. For me, there’s still no reason to believe I’ll get anything more than some white rain that maybe coats up the grass a little bit
